If so, then join the Libertarian Futurist Society!

Help nominate fiction and vote for the only
annual award for best pro-freedom fiction: the Prometheus Awards for Best Novel and Best Classic Fiction, plus
occasional Special Awards. All the writers listed above (and many more) have won Prometheus Awards for their

"As a long-time libertarian and science fiction fan, I consider my Libertarian Futurist Society membership
one of the best deals around. How else would I learn of the new SF books that I'd be most likely to want to
read? LFS dramatically reduces my search time--and that's very valuable to me."

The Libertarian Futurist Society was founded in 1982 to recognize and promote libertarian science fiction.
The LFS is a tax-exempt nonprofit group with an international membership of libertarians and freedom-loving
science fiction fans who believe cultural change is as vital as political change in achieving freedom. After
all, imagination is the first step in envisioning a free future — and the peace, prosperity and progress that
can take humankind to the stars. The LFS presents the annual Prometheus Award for Best
Novel, the Prometheus Hall of Fame Award for best classic literary works of liberty
and occasional Prometheus Special Awards for other categories (short fiction, dramatic
presentations, life achievement and similar awards) and publishes the quarterly journal, Prometheus.

"People come to libertarianism through fiction. They come through Ayn Rand... Robert Heinlein.... L. Neil
Smith. When he established the Prometheus Awards, Smith was acknowledging the political contributions that
fiction makes to libertarianism. He recognized its importance and influence, namely that it fire the
imagination, it fires the vision of man and woman, and it is absolutely essential to inspire people."
